i'm interested in trying to make some stencils, except i have always sucked with an exacto knife. when i try to use them, i get crazy jagged edges. i just don't have that skill. however, i am a decent freehand drawer, so i an use a pencil pretty well. so i'm wondering...is there any other sort of tool that can cut in this manner, but more resembles a pencil? apologies if this is a really dumb question, i haven't tried stenciling before.

also: can you use screen printing ink with stencils on cloth?
